Do you follow directions when you cook something?

[szhao13]

If I'm trying a new recipe, then I follow the directions. Otherwise, I go my experience and senses.

Sometimes i follow directions but most of the time i like to spice up a recipe or take the idea and go my own way. Make it your own type of deal. Sometimes good things come out of doing it that way & sometimes u could come up with the most vile tasting thing ever imagined but 9 times out of ten you really come out with something good tasting

I follow most of the time.  But mostly I don't cook that much.

no cooking is like chemistry it is the right blends and timing

I rarely cook, but I usually come up with some of my own ways to do something, rather than going strictly by the original directions.
